May their lives not be lost meaningless but be a reminder to us that what we do is for the benefit of the environment and all people on our planet and for the improvement of livelihoods everywhere in the world. We should be proud of the work realised by our beloved colleages belonging to such a wonderful organisation like WWF."

"If only I could be as brave and dedicated as those individuals working with, and for WWF and the Nepal government to save our planet and its natural resources and animals. The void those individuals have left will be filled by others, and their spirits will remain as guiding beacons, they themselves will be missed. Along with Steven Irwin, their efforts will be marked in the book of life as that of caring, dedication, and continuous effort to preserve the world for future generations, and because all life is precious. My heart goes otu to the families, friends, and colleagues of those who lost their lives for the sake of our world."

There is a time and purpose for everything in the world, a time to be born and a time to die, a time of joy and a time of sorrow, a time for the sun to rise and a time for it to set. Our sympathies to the families of the departed we share their pain in this hour, but it should make us all the more determined to see that their ultimate sacrifice is not invain. Sail on great and noble rainbow warriors, sail on!
